Shawbury Visit
Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2005 8:49 amWell.. This was a 'Work related visit' ::)
Got time of from school to go around shawbury and fly in the griffin ZJ707, got about 2 n' a half hours flying time in her in total.
This was only a 30min flight.. but what a flight. The plan was to take off and touchdown in a wood clearing, then navigate around everyone's houses that were onboard.
But before that, we had a wander around the hangers etc..
^^ Nice hawk cockpit ^^ being restored for valley at shawbury, because vallery wernt using it.
^^ Nice and old Canberra cockpit.
^^Jetstream, very cramped cockpit, i bumped my head sitting in the pilots seat. ::)
^^But i couldnt leave the apaches out...
Time went quickly...
Got suited up... Got out there..
My second time in a griffin was about to come..
(went down to kemble airshow in the griffin 2 hours flight)
A few before flight pics...
